Bradley for Brown, Buck to DL

The Milton Bradley saga appears to be over (barring some last second complications, and with Bradley, that’s always possible), with Bradley going to San Diego in exchange for reliever Andrew Brown, who could be headed to the big leagues soon given Oakland’s needs in the bullpen. The A’s are expected to pick up a chunk of the $2 million remaining on Bradley’s contract, according to a source with knowledge of the negotiations.

Today’s daily DL trip goes to……..outfielder Travis Buck, who is likely to join nine others on Oakland’s disabled list because his injured thumb continues to bother him. The move will be backdated one day, so he’ll be eligible to come off in two weeks and the hope is that that amount of rest will solve the problem. Dee Brown is likely to come up from Triple-A Sacramento to provide outfield depth. That will make a total of 15 different outfielders the A’s have used this season.
